House Republicans Want Answers On Ivanka’s Emails

A pair of Republican committee heads have requested information from the White House regarding Ivanka Trump’s use of a personal email account to conduct official business throughout her time in the administration.

In a letter to White House chief of staff John Kelly, House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) asked that the administration provide his committee with an accounting of Ivanka’s email use for government business, including details on whether the White House had complied with security and record-keeping requirements as laid out by the Presidential Records Act, and whether Trump, a senior adviser to her father, had sent any sent any sensitive or classified information over her personal email.

Though Gowdy is retiring from Congress at the end of his term, the House Oversight Chairman-in-waiting, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), indicated Tuesday that under his leadership the panel would continue its probe of personal email use in the White House.
